Paying for care

Where to start?

There are many different ways that home care can be funded and the information available can be confusing. The first step to take is to find
out if the person who will be receiving the care is eligible for a local authority funding. If you are not eligible for either local authority or NHS
funding then you will probably need to pay for care yourself and it is a good idea to speak to a financial advisor to ensure you are structuring
your finances in the best possible way.
